when you stop caring

never, i guess

never

although you might try to make it seem like you've stopped

when everything around you disappoints

and the people you hoped to hope in let you down

then you'd like to believe you don't care

when things just don't make sense anymore

and you've done yourself no favors

maybe god has left you too, or so it seems

the numbness spreads and the walls are built higher

and you think that you've stopped the process

of caring

you haven't

you can't

it's just a lie to tell yourself, i tell myself, when it hurts too much

to care

but i hope i never stop caring

ever
